Alpha Gameplay - LSFN/Design GitHub Wiki

The purpose of the Alpha is to be a minimum proof of concept game. This means there won't be much to it.

• The objective is to eliminate all other ships from the game
• All ships will be identical
• The ship is a 'black box'
  • The ship is a single physics body in space
  • There are no internal components that can be broken independently
  • The ship has no perceivable interior
• The ship has a single health value
• The ship has a single weapon
• The ship has engines and thrusters
  • Engines are powerful but can only propel the ship forwards
  • Thrusters are weak but can manoeuvre the ship rotationally and in any direction orthogonal to that of the engines.
• The ship emits projectiles from its single weapon
  • The weapon fires forwards only
• The ship takes damage if projectiles hit it
  • This subtracts some number from the ship's health value
